Abstract
Systems and methods providing digitally enhanced imaging for the prediction, application, and inspection of coatings. A digital imaging and processing device provides image acquisition, processing, and display of acquired digital imaging data to allow a user to discern variations, beyond that which can be discerned by observing a coating or a substrate with the naked eye. The digital imaging and processing device may also provide pre-coating and post-coating inspection capabilities as well as coating prediction capabilities.
